Jakey's Gin

1. When I was a young man I was led astray

I met with a buddy down in Logy Bay

we went out in all weather,

we wore out our shoes,

goin' up Kingsbridge road for a drink o' Booze

R: Drink her up, boys! it's well after ten

Drink her up, boys! it's well after ten

2. Some people say that the Pinky is fine

others will swear by a drop of moonshine

but as for myself I've a bottle of each

mixed in with a gallon of dipper and screech

R: Drink her up...

3. It's the old shaving lotion thats made me this way

sweeter than Pepsi and stronger then tea

and when in the evening when we're feeling fine

we stop into Jakey's for icons and 'shine

R: Drink her up...

4. It's the old shaving lotion that's made me this way

sweeter then pepsi an' stronger than tea

and when in the morning when I'm feelin' rough

I curse old Jakey who sold me this stuff

R: Drink her up... (2x)

"Take a two-four out the door!"

Da-da-da-da-da-da....

5. Ah,whiskey you're the devil, you're leadin' me astray

over hills and mountains and to Americay

you're nicer, stronger, decenter, you're spunkier than tea

oh, whiskey you're me darlin' drunk or sober
